I don't trust any of them - having a project to work on, reading mdn specs, and having some people to ask questions is better. Also a few blogs about things like boxes and springs layout and event bubbling.

@RachelWeinberg is interested in trying out more web programming; she's taken a couple of classes in C++ but no html/css/js yet. It's been a long time since I've looked at the state of online tutorials for learning to code, and I'm curious what the best resources are nowadays - since picking any one feels like a decent-sized commitment of a few dozen hours, I'd like to hear what people have to say.

This market resolves to my subjective best judgment of what the best course is. I'm also attaching M$500 to be awarded to the two most informative comments!

@IdaMayer I definitely recommend just jumping in to anyone who's done a decent bit of other programming (eg backend or low level, or has taken 3-4 programming classes). But you don't think more structure is helpful for people with only a few months of coding experience? At least, to get a basic template of "this is how to structure your code, this is what html/css/js is?"

@Austin ah, I didn't realize based on the description. Maybe I think to be a good web developer, taking a class that covers data structures / algorithms / modularity in your code structure / maybe at least knowing the structure of MVC. ...and then jumping in with a project.

I do like the aesthetic of their site!
